TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION
Our Minnesota coordinator Andrea Charlebois will be leading you on this amazing weekend adventure. For years, bowfishing was considered an archery enthusiast’s game, or a bowhunter’s offseason fad. But over the last decade or so, this fishing technique has become a beloved sport for thousands of outdoor lovers. Fun and unique, bowfishing requires absolutely no previous angling experience, making it perfect for newbie fishers. If you’re looking to make your first bowfishing steps, you’ve come to the right place. We will hang out and get to know one another and adventure Friday and then join our outfitter on the Ottertail river near Dent, MN for 1 night of bow fishing.
Plan to arrive Friday afternoon for a day of relaxation and fun. Plan to relax at the Hideout, enjoy the beach or bring a fishing pole for the lake. We will meet our guides on Saturday evening for a night on the river. You can plan to head home on Sunday around noon. This trip includes 1 night of bowfishing, 2 night of lodging. We are able to offer this weekend at a price of $425 per person, which will be a non-refundable deposit of $225 and 1 payment of $200. You will need to purchase a MN Angling License for this trip. The guides will be providing everything needed for a successful bow fishing trip.

Our community is made up of some of the most fun, energetic and “go with the flow” kind of people. We pride ourselves in how FUN our trips can be even in the most unfortunate of circumstances. If you are often considered high maintenance or tend to get stressed out then we kindly want to let you know that our trips are likely not a good fit for you. You may have to share a bed with a stranger, the weather may not allow us to participate in an activity, there may not be any showers available, there may only be 1 bathroom for 10 women, you may not harvest the animal you wanted to get, there could be someone on the trip that you just don’t vibe with. All of these scenarios are real and they happen. It’s truly a bummer that we feel that we have to mention this but it is reality. We will do our best to filter what we can before it becomes an issue. Our trips are a drama and stress free zone! We always want to ensure that our customers are comfortable and taken care of and we will always ask that you have cool, calm and collected attitude.
